Chapter 32 Refinement
After hearing her daughter's words, Xue Shi sighed inwardly.The family is not rich, but the daughter is more sensible than before, she sees her embarrassment, and thinks about helping the family to make money before it is too late.

Since the daughter has the idea of ​​making money, this is also a good thing.The daughter is growing up, and there will always be a day when she will leave the cabinet. When she gets married, she will also be the director of the family and take care of her own dowry. Now it is a practice in advance.

Since my daughter has learned how to raise pigs in the book, let Liu Dashan try to raise them.If it is really cultivated, pork may really become the most popular meat, and it can be regarded as an income.

Even if it fails, it doesn't matter, it's just a loss of a little money, no big deal.

Thinking clearly, Mrs. Xue patted her daughter's head, "Since you want Liu Dashan to help raise pigs, mother has no objection, but don't think about going to his house every other day to check, what's the matter?" Just tell the servants to do it, but don’t let people laugh at you as a little lady who raises pigs.”

Xiao Jinyue twitched the corners of her mouth, what was her mother thinking.Although she wants to raise pigs, she doesn't plan to feed them herself. She has a lot of things to do.

For now, Liu Dashan's family is enough to raise pigs, and she will naturally order the people below to do the rest, so there is no need for her to do everything herself.

Xiao Jinyue took out a bank note from her sleeve pocket and handed it to Mrs. Xue, "Mother, here are 1000 taels. It was a thank you gift from Duke Zhenguo. You can take it and ask the steward to buy a Zhuangzi around the capital."

Because their family moved to the capital from the border, so there is no property here in the capital, and they have to buy everything in the mansion with silver money. It will not be a long-term solution after a long time.

If the family has a village, planting some crops and vegetables, and raising some poultry and livestock, it can also reduce some expenses.

If it wasn't for the lack of Zhuangzi in his family, Xiao Jinyue would not have asked Liu Dashan, an outsider, to help raise pigs.

It's not that Mrs. Xue doesn't know how to buy a farm, it's just that money is tight in the mansion, and farms in the capital are expensive, so they haven't found a suitable farm yet.

Shaking his head, Mrs. Xue pushed back the bank note, "Mother can't take your money. Since the money is a thank you gift from the son of the Duke of Zhenguo, you can keep it yourself. To buy the money for the farm, mother will think about it otherwise." Method."

Xiao Jinyue stuffed the money into Xue's hands, "Mother, you can keep it, your daughter's money is also yours. After buying the farm, the daughter who is born in the farm will also have to eat. Besides, mother, I am in the book I saw a way to make white sugar on the Internet, and when I try it successfully, I plan to put it in the farm and use my own people to make it."

Xue looked puzzled, "What white sugar?"

"It is white sugar refined from sucrose. This is the recipe I saw in the book, and I have to try it to know if it will work."

Xue knows that her little daughter has always liked reading books, especially miscellaneous books such as local chronicles and travel notes.She thought it was just to pass the time and read casually, but she didn't expect that there were prescriptions and the like recorded in those books.

Although she didn't know what white sugar was like, she knew that the price of sucrose was not cheap. If the youngest daughter could really toss out that kind of white sugar, it would be a unique business and the profit would definitely be not small.

This is not like raising pigs, which must be in the hands of one's own people, so there must be a safe place, and the manpower must naturally be used by one's own people, and outsiders cannot be hired to do it.

After figuring this out, Mrs. Xue finally took the bank note, secretly thinking that the farm she bought would be recorded in the youngest daughter's name and be used as a dowry for her in the future.

After lunch, Xiao Jinyue had nothing to do, and took all the sugar she bought to the small kitchen of Xue's main courtyard to prepare sugar.

The small kitchen is located in the main courtyard. At this time, after lunch time, a woman and two maids in charge of the small kitchen are preparing the ingredients inside.

Hearing that Xiao Jinyue was going to use the small kitchen to make things, she hurriedly speeded up the action at hand.

After finishing the arrangement, Xiao Jinyue asked them all to go down to rest, and only let Fenix ​​stay to help her.

Because the several kinds of sugar he bought were mixed with impurities, Xiao Jinyue had to boil and melt them first, and then filter them several times to get rid of the impurities.

After removing impurities, the next step is to start making white sugar.

Although Xiao Jinyue knew the general process, after all, he hadn't done it himself, and the tools were not handy, so he was busy until it was dark before stopping.

On two blue and white porcelain plates, one is filled with white sugar and the other is rock sugar.

"Girl, did you succeed?" Fennel has been helping to light the fire, and watched the girl make the two candies with her own eyes. She stared intently at the two kinds of candies that were as white as snow on the blue and white porcelain plate, thinking it was really miraculous.

Xiao Jinyue said with a smile, "It succeeded."

She didn't buy much sucrose, and with the loss in the middle, the white sugar she made in the end was only Xiaodie, and the rock sugar was only a few pieces.

As for brown sugar, she hasn't made it for the time being due to the lack of cane sugar she bought.

Although the quantity produced is not large, and the color is not as white as modern ones, but in the absence of various tools, Xiao Jinyue is already satisfied with being able to make it like this.

The crystallization rate is closely related to the impurities contained in sucrose, the amount of water added, and the temperature.

If you want whiter color, greater purity, and higher crystallization rate, you can only slowly explore step by step. I believe that after practice makes perfect, the effect will be more satisfactory.

The production method has been solved, and now, only the source of goods remains.

Xiao Jinyue glanced at the fennel that was still on the plate with a funny face, took a bowl and filled some of the two freshly baked candies, and handed it to her, "Take it and taste it, the saliva is left behind."

Fennel heard the girl teasing her, and subconsciously raised her hand to wipe it.

Hearing Xiao Jinyue's laughter, she realized that she had been fooled.

Although the flowery smiling face burst into red instantly, her hands were holding on to the blue and white porcelain plate tightly.

The girl can laugh if she wants to. For the sake of sugar, she can be more generous and not annoy the girl.

Fennel impatiently picked up pinches of snow-white sugar and put it in his mouth to taste, his eyes lit up instantly, "Girl, this sugar is so sweet, much sweeter than sucrose, and the color is also pretty, does it have a name? "

"Yes, the granulated ones are called frost sugar, and the lumpy ones are called rock sugar."

"Girl, these two names are nice, and they will definitely sell well in the future."

A big sale can be a big sale, but this kind of business cannot be started in a short time.

For mass production, a small workshop needs to be set up, and the manpower problem must also be solved.

When it is produced, there needs to be a fixed place to sell it, so a shop is indispensable.

Their family doesn't have property in the capital, so naturally they don't have a store, so it seems that they have to buy a store.

With a store, shopkeepers and buddies are also indispensable.

By the way, there are various tools to be built.

Xiao Jinyue went through all the things in his mind, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.She is now poor and white, with nothing, and everything has to start from scratch.

Forget it, let's solve the same thing slowly.

The most important issue of the supply of goods has not been resolved yet, and I don't know if the second manager has gone out of the house to find out.

It's getting late now, it should be back home.
